# Oddments from RSC NewsFeed

[![NewsFeed Cover](https://hawksey.info/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/image10.png "NewsFeed Cover")](http://scottish-rscs.org.uk/newsfeed/) While toiling to polish off the [Google Wave 101](https://hawksey.info/blog/2009/11/google-wave-101-presentations-from-scottish-vle-groups/) post a call went up in the office for contributions to [RSC NewsFeed](http://scottish-rscs.org.uk/newsfeed/). In no time I had managed to put together [5 posts](http://scottish-rscs.org.uk/newsfeed/?author=19&year=2009&monthnum=11&day=24).

There isn’t really a common thread to pull them together so below is the title and short synopsis:

- [Automatic Captions in YouTube](http://scottish-rscs.org.uk/newsfeed/?p=6713) – This post relates to Google’s announcement that YouTube will begin to use voice recognition software to automatically add captions to videos, which also back videos a lot more searchable.
- [50 Educational Apps for the iPod Touch](http://scottish-rscs.org.uk/newsfeed/?p=6676) – A link to a great list of educational applications for the iPod Touch (mainly schools focused but there is something for everyone).
- [PowerPoint: Embedding YouTube Video](http://scottish-rscs.org.uk/newsfeed/?p=6679) – A nice ‘how-to’ by David Hopkins on embedding live YouTube videos in PowerPoint.
- [Edinburgh College of Art Launches its ‘Vision’ of Academic Research](http://scottish-rscs.org.uk/newsfeed/?p=6681) – Wow! When art colleges produce a publication, they really produce a publication. This 184 page publication is designed to showcase some of Edinburgh College of Art’s best research.
- [Hotseat: Any Mobile Will Do](http://scottish-rscs.org.uk/newsfeed/?p=6688) – This post highlights the work of Purdue University in developing a micro-in/out-of-class discussion tool which enables lectures to use multiple social networking sites to facilitate discussions.
 
Enjoy!
